The objectives of this study were to examine the association between urinary excretion of
cadmium (U-Cd) copper (U-Cu), and zinc (U-Zn) and the severity of two different indicators …

Long term cadmium (Cd) exposure in occupational and general environments may give rise
to kidney dysfunction. This effect is usually considered to be the critical effect, ie the effect …

Studies in vivo and in vitro have shown a protective effect of zinc against renal dysfunction
caused by cadmium exposure. However, limited human data is available. In this study, we …

Cadmium in blood (Cd-B) and in urine (Cd-U) and metallothionein (Mt-U) and β 2-
microglobulin in urine (β 2 mU) were measured in 94 male Cd workers. The results were …

The dose-response relationship between cadmium (Cd) exposure and renal dysfunction, as
measured by urinary Cd and metallothoinein (MT), was evaluated in a population living in …

Urinary β2-microglobulin and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase have been recommended as
sensitive indicators of renal dysfunction induced by cadmium. However, an increase in …

Two epidemiological studies aimed at investigating the dose-response relationship of
environmental cadmium exposure were performed in a population living in the Kakehashi …

The urinary excretion of Cd, Cu, and Zn was measured in rats injected with 0.5 mg/kg Cd, sc,
6 d/wk for up to 25 wk. Gel Chromatographic analyses for these urinary metals were also …

Our early toxicological studies showed that metallothionein (MT) is a protein that carries
cadmium (Cd) to the kidney, explaining why Cd exposures during long time periods may …

Cadmium is an environmental toxic metal and its exposure has become a worldwide public
health threat. We aimed to evaluate the exposure assessment of cadmium in people living in …
